On Oct. 21st, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02) joined over 200 of her colleagues in a letter, led by Rep. Tom Emmer (MN-06), to the Secretary of the United States Department of Treasury, Janet Yellen, reiterating their concerns with the Biden Administration’s proposal to expand the data collected by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on Americans’ bank accounts.
“The Administration’s continued push to invade Americans’ privacy should concern everyone. Raising the reporting threshold from $600 to $10,000 still means the overwhelming majority of Americans will be targeted by the IRS,” said Miller-Meeks. “The Treasury Department’s response to our September 13 letter was unacceptable and I am proud to join this second letter to show the Administration that we will not back down. I will continue to fight to ensure that all Americans’ right to privacy is protected.”
